Dear Rouudab0M:
1t is easier to say how anything
should be done than it is to do it.
/ find every one to be critics. !
am an amateur in letter writing,
and have found out that it is a great
deal easier to criticise than it is to
write. Of all things. l do not
want to become a "croaker, nor
even to be considered one. What
l have written and will write has
been and will be for the general
good, as / view it. do not eX-
pect every one to endorse every
thing | write, but will say every
thing / advocate | believe to be
for tine general good-promising
never to have an axe of my own
to grind, except in the general
grinding of axes. When the grind
ing takes place, let it be known;
let no SHARP tricks be played, !"
let all in the city know Of it. In
other words. show an ''open
hand, fight in an open field"
"never shoot in the dark" but
dealing at all times in "high
points. Life is too short for me,
either in public or private life, not
to IDEAL on the square.
When an office or place ofpublic
trust is to be filled, not for one to
force himself on the city or county,
when it is an established fact he is
not wanted, and has to use money
to secure the place or position he
is seeking, by taking the advan-
tage of the poor mans condition,
by pouring whisky into him, and
putting one or two dollars into his
hand, demoralizing and degrading
the man, and his family for life,
and then 60 and tell what low
creature he is-sold his vote for a
drink of whisky and dollar--when,
in the sight of God, you are worse
than the man you have degraded.
All this is degrading to the buyer
and the bought. And the people
should frown it down. We have
good men, but they will not force
themselves on the people for any
thing, and they will not scramble
for office. | can recollect when it
was an honor to be a magistrate,

and a greater honor to represent
ones county.
When place is to be filled, il
should be done by the people
selecting the man, not fol-
the people to be compelled to
"choose between two evils. Ii
seems to me it takes a great deal
Of "cheek' for any one, on "cold
collar" to announce himself fol
any position. My idea is to let
the people bring out the man and
elect him, the man having
nothing to do with it, but, when
elected, 60 in with "clean hands, y
working for the good of the whole,
knowing no man or ''set of men,
which we all know has been done
all "along the line"
Our City Council, several years
ago, repealed the hog law, it is be-
lieved they did It to secure the
votes of the hog owners, so to-day
the town is one vast 'hog pen,
60 where you will, you see hogs.
A policeman told me to-day he be-
lieved there were 1900 hogs in the
city limits. 1t is the only hog
town of my knowledge in the
United States. and it is the CAPT
tai Of Kentucky. Our mill is so
beset with hogs, we can hardly
get in or out of it, they are root
ing up the street, pavement
and alley way, hunting the wasted
wheat dropped from the wagons
coming to the mill. | ask the
city what shall we do? We must
have protection. We pay our
taxes. Some of the citizens say
our mill is nuisance and should be
removed out of the city. | ask
which should be removed, the mill
or hogs? The mill is manufacture
ing the "staff Of life. " We pay
out $3.50, 900 or $500, 900 per
annum for wheat, drawing trade
/ here from all sections-the bulk
of the money being spent here.
Our weekly payroll is now, while
running night and day, over $500,
which is spent right mere. Every
week we are shipping flour to
eight or nine States. Those who
own residences must remember
that cities are made by mauufac-
tories; that residences must give
way for these manufactures when

of which ran u 10 escape the fury Of
the gale" Telegraphing later, our cor
respondent says that through commu-
n;cation, with only a little delay, has
been effected on the Holyhead Rail
way, near Valley Station. During the
height oflhe gale the Bridget, schoon-
er, of Dungarvan, bound for Barrow,
with timber, anchored near the Plat
ters Rock in IIolyhend Harbour
broke away from her mOorings, and,
amid a scene of intense excitement,
she drifted side on against the break
water. 1t being high water, the crew,
five in number, were able to effect a
landing on the breakwnter, where the
waves repeatedly dashed right over
them. They. however, held on for
dear life. The schooner subsequent

lowed, but at the time of the despatch
of this telegram had been unable to
secure her. The Holyhead liteboat
has also heen out on a life saving
mission.
Isle OF Man.-Ramsey Bay was to-
day the scene Of the most terrific
s~outh-eastrrly for over twenty years.
The wind rose before daybreak and
hourly increased in violence until
noon, when it blew with appalling
fury. Terrific sea- rolled into the
bay, completely innndating the es-
planade and adjoining streets, flooding
houses in the immediate neighbour
hood and stopping nll traffic. Great
excitement prevailed, as the signal
guns OF the %Iife-saVing brigade were
fired and business was entirely sus-
pended. The shore was occupied by
excited throngs eagerly watching
three vessels riding heavily al anchor
in the bay. Shortly before noon
the Manchester lifeboat Two Sisters
was launched in response to signals
for aid. Just afterwards a schooner,
which proved to be the OIoffock, OF
WoIkington, coal laden, drove rapid
ly ashore about two miles north ofthe
halbour. The crew were seen cling
ing to the rigging, both themselves
and the vessel being occasionally OBJ
Scured from view by the sea washing
over them. The Rocket Brigade were
promptly on the spot, and made
splendid practice. The first rocket

was effected, and the crew of tour

cheering. They were in II most ex-
hausted condition. Meanwhile the

from Holyhead, and the rest OF the
delay was caused between that place
and Chester. Signals were blown
down, and ielegraphic commun'ca-
tion was cut between Aber and
LIaofairtechan by the swapping of the
wires. This greatly added to the diff
fculty OF tie situation which the rail
way officials Lad TO face, when tele-
grams were despatched from Holy
head definitely announcing that the
sea had driven in and washed away
The. line. Happily, the first alarming
inttlligence-which was despatched
from Valley Station-was not entire
" borne out. Travellers to Ireland
are aware oi the mud fats which
separate Anglesea from Holyhead,
and make tie latter really an island.
The Chester and I~Iolyhead Railway
pierces these mud flats, which at high
tidetare covered with water. SluIces are
made to carry the winter through, and
there are the ordinary outlets, built
of exceptionally-strong masonry, to
prevent flooding or damage TO the
permanent way by the entertainments
OF the sea in times of storm. The
wave piled up by. the winds TO a
fearful height, came breaking in this
movning on the flats, and drove, with
threatening effect, right up against
the line. The waters gradually rose,
until the Valley station master wired
for assistance 10 prevent the actual
disruption of the traffic. For some
time enginc-drivers had 10 slow while
passing over The particular section of
the railway ; but presently the sea
embankment went in with n crash,
and the waves made clean breaches
over the line and ran right up 10
Valley Station, some two miles dis
,ant. The railway company's officials
at Chester and Bangor grappled with
the difficulty with commendable
promptitude. Mr.. Turmhull, assis-
tant superintendent from Euston,
fortunately happened to be at hester,
and, with Mr.. Ephraim Wood, the
chief superintendent OF The Chester
and Holyhead Railway, at once pro-
ceeded to the spot. A large gang Of per-
manent-way men were also collected
from Chester and Bangor, and for

passenger traffic if necessary between
Bangor and Chester, and run such
other trains as might be required to

congestion at the point where regular
communication was broken. At noon

Carver county. and named st. Ansgar's
academy. The rapid growth of the
Scandinavian population in the North
west led to widening of the scope of
the school and its removal in 1876 to
st. Peter. 1t was thenceforth known as
Gustavus .Adolphus college. st. Peter
and vicinity contributed $4,000 for its
location there.
The college buildings are five in num-
Der, beautifully located on bluff over
looking the valley of the Minnesota
river and the city of st. Peter. The
main building is massive structure of
KaSota stone, 90X60. four stories high,
used for recitation rooms, library chapel,
students rooms and boarding depart
ment.
1t was erected in 1875, at a cost of
$4,000. Three of the buildings are Oc-
cupied by professors, their families and
lady students. A gymnasium was
erected last summer. A music and
Business hall is under contemplation.
The aim of the college is threefold: TO
give good elementary education up to
the high school grade, to prepare teach
erS for parOchial and common schools.
and to impart the usual collegiate train
ing. The advantages of the institution
or denomination, who will earnestly
enter into the spirit of the school. The
recitations are carried on in two, some
